DESCRIPTIONS OF FIVE NEW SPECIES OF MYCTOPHID FISHES FROM THE PACIFIC, INDIAN, AND ATLANTIC OCEANS By Robert L. K'isner Scripps Institution of Oceanography, La Jolla, California 92037 Abstract: Five new species of myctophid fishes are described and are compared with closely related forms. Three of the new species, two in the genus Diaphus and one in the genus Lampanyotus ^ occur in warm waters of the eastern and central North Pacific Ocean; of the remaining two species, both in the genus Lampanyctus j one occurs in the eastern tropical Atlantic Ocean, and one in both the western tropical Pacific and the Indian oceans. Introduction The five new species described below are referable to three distinct species groups and are treated under three sections; related species are discussed. In the first section, two of the new species, Diaphus tvaohops and Z). similis^ are referred to a small group of Diaphus y formerly comprised of six nominal species, charac- terized in part by having the preorbital organs, Dn and Vn, CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES [Occ. Papers small and widely separated. Most specimens of these two new species from the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean have been erroneously identified as the infrequently reported species Diaphus tevmophilus . In the second section, two other new species, L amp any c - tus hasili and L. isaacsiy are referred to a group of the genus characterized by having the VO2 photophore highly el- evated and displaced forward to a position approximately above VOn . This group has also been defined in part by having the pectoral fin long and broad-based, but in L. isaaosi this fin is short and narrow-based. The species to be described as Lampanyatus hasili has been previously rec- ognized as probably new and briefly described and figured, but not named, on the basis of a single young specimen from the western Indian Ocean (Nafpaktitis and Nafpaktitis, 1969) ; specimens of L. isaaosi have not before been recog- nized. In the third section, the fifth new species, Lampanya- tus aoanthuruSj is compared with the closely related spe- cies complex comprising L. tenuiformis and L. festivus ; it has been variously misidentif ied as each of these species. This new species differs strikingly from all other species currently recognized in the genus in having a notably in- creased number of procurrent caudal rays. Holotypes of the five new species, and paratypes bear- ing SIO collection numbers, are deposited in the Marine Ver- tebrate Collection of the Scripps Institution of Oceano- graphy. Paratypes to be deposited in other museums bear numbers assigned by those museums. Acknowledgments I am deeply indebted to the following persons and agen- cies for their kindness in making specimens available to me. Thomas A. Clarke, University of Hawaii, donated speci- mens of Diaphus traahops to the Scripps Institution collec- tion. Basil Nafpaktitis, University of Southern California, and John E. Fitch, California Department of Fish and Game, kindly permitted me to report a far eastern occurrence, off California, of D. traahops . E. H. Ahlstrom, National Mar- ine Fisheries Service, Southwest Fisheries Center, provided the Scripps collection with specimens of Diaphus similis taken during the joint Eastropac Expedition. M. Boeseman, Reijksmuseum, Leiden, and H. Nijssen, Zoological Museum, Amsterdam, provided specimens on which the original des- cription of Diaphus suborbitalis was based. Paratypes of Diaphus glandulifer were provided by the U. S. National Museum of Natural History, and additional material of that species was loaned by the Field Museum of Natural History. Material of Lampanyatus hasili and L. macvopterus was taken primarily on the Scripps Antipode, Circe, Naga, and No. 110] WISNER: MYCTOPHID FISHES Monsoon expeditions to the western Pacific and Indian oceans. Further material of these species was made avail- able from the Galathea collection by J^rgen Nielsen, Copen- hagen, and by Basil Nafpaktitis from the International Indian Ocean Expedition, Cruises 3 and 6 of the R/V Anton Bruun. Specimens of Lampanyctus isaaosi were taken on the Lusiad Expedition of Scripps Institution. In addition, five paratypes taken on the Guinean Trawling Survey were made available by Bruce B. Collette of the National Marine Fish- eries Service. Specimens of Lampanyctus aoanthurus were mostly taken by the Scripps expeditions Aries-9, Climax I, and Cato I in the North Central Gyre of the Pacific Ocean, north of Hawaii. Two other specimens were taken farther east, during the 1961 -1963 survey of pelagic fishes of the California Current area conducted by the National Marine Fisheries Service. E. Bertelsen kindly provided counts of procurrent caudal rays of the holotype of L. festivus . Carl L. Hubbs of Scripps Institution of Oceanography has critically read the manuscript. FIethods The conventional names and the approximate locations of the photophores of myctophids are shown schematically (fig. 1) . In the dorsal and anal fins all rays were counted, in- cluding the anteriormost rudimentary rays, and the last ray was treated as being bifurcate through the base. In counting the gill rakers on the outer arch, the raker at the angle was included in the count for the lower limb. The urostyle was included in the count for vertebrae. Body proportions, unless otherwise stated, are expressed as thousandths of standard length (SL) . Usually the maximum depth of trawls was estimated from meters of wire out, and the nets were fished open. The holotypes of Lampanyctus hasiti and L. isaacsi are portrayed by drawings only, because their photophores did not register satisfactorily on film. The other species are illustrated both by photographs and diagrams showing parti- cularly the position of the photophores.

Bishop Museum. Section Ii Diaphus trachops and D. similis These two new species belong to a small group of the ge- nus Diaphus characterized principally by having only two small and widely separated principal luminous organs of the CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES [Occ. Papers head, the Dn and Vn. Dn is located close above the nasal apparatus and before the orbital rim, and Vn is well back on the ventral rim of the orbit under the posterior half of the pupil. Most species of this group also have the first SAO on or very slightly above level of last VO. Six nominal species have been described as having Dn and Vn widely sep- arated: D. suhorhitalis Weber, 1913; D. glandulifer Gilbert, 1913 (as discussed below, D. glandulifer is a syn- onym of D. subovhitalis ) ; D. termophilus Taning, 1928; D. dumevili (Bleeker, 1856); D. lutkeni (Brauer, 1904); and D. diadematus Taning, 1932. The two new species are less clos- ely related to the last three named above than to the oth- ers. They differ from the first three named above primarily in the shape of Vn. D. dumerili is readily separable by the very minute size of Vn and its location on the anterior por- tion of the ventral margin of orbit; also, this is the only species of the group having the first SAO well above the level of the last two VO. In D. lutkeni (both sexes) and d. diadematus (males only) the Vn is much elongated, and oc- cupies most of the ventral margin of the orbit. The Vn of D. diadematus is highly sexually dimorphic in that the Vn of females is small and oblong and somewhat similar in position to the Vn of each of the new species being described and of the first three species named above, whereas the Vn of males is greatly enlarged and broadened posteriorly, filling most of the space between orbital rim and upper jaw. The pat- terns of photophores of these two species are similar, but the gill rakers of D. lutkeni are more numerous, 6-7+1+14 (13-15), total 22(20-23) versus 5 (4) +1+ (9) 10 , total (15)16, for D. diadematus . The Vn of D. lutkeni is less sexually dimorphic than that of D. diadematus ; that of the male is more robust than that of the female and extends vertically to approach, or contact, the upper jaw. Direct comparison of syntypes of Diaphus suborbitalis with the holotype and paratypes of D. glandulifer discloses no differences that warrant their separation. As Weber's description predates that of Gilbert by about three months (May and August, respectively) , I hereby synonymize Diaphus glandulifer Gilbert (1913, p. 90, pi. 11, fig. 2) with Diaphus suborbitalis Weber (1913, p. 30, fig. 31). Study material of D. suborbitalis included two syntypes from Bali Sea, Siboga Station 38 (07°35.4' S., 117°28.6' E.). Accom- panying one syntype was the following pencilled note: "This specimen selected as the LECTOTYPE. Rolf L. Bolin, 10/31/47." As Bolin 's action has not been published, I hereby designate this specimen, deposited in the Zoologisch Museum, Amsterdam, ZMA 109.968, a male, 68.0 mm. standard length, as the lectotype of Diaphus suborbitalis Weber, 1913. Also, I designate as paralectotype of D. suborbitalis the other syntype from Siboga Station 38, deposited in the Ri jksmusevim, Leiden, reg . no. 9942, 71.5 mm. standard length, sex indeterminate (body cavity open and empty) .

Head long, 3 in standard length; depth 1.4 in length. Upper jaw long, 1.4 in head length; orbit large, 3.3 in head, 2.4 in upper jaw. Snout short, 2 in orbit. Bases of dorsal and anal fins equal in length. Origin of anal base slightly behind a vertical from end of dorsal base; end of adipose base slightly before a vertical from end of anal base. Pelvic fin reaches to about fourth anal ray; pectoral fin reaches slightly past pelvic base. Gill rakers long and slender; the longest about 1.4 in orbit and about 3.6 in upper jaw. Dorsal rays 14, anal rays 15 (14-16), pectoral rays 12 (11-13). AO 6 (5+7) + 5(6), total 11 (10-12). Gill rakers 8 (7-9) + 1 + 15-16 (14-17) , total 24 (22-26) . Vertebrae 34-35. Numbers of anal photophores (AO) and of gill rakers (table 1) and body proportions (table 2) are compared with similar data for related species. Counts of AO and gill ra- kers for the holotype of D. traahops are indicated by an asterisk in table 1. Dentition. The small cardiform teeth of the jaws form a rounded band. In the upper jaw a median row of somewhat elongate and curved teeth, somewhat more widely spaced than the rest, project downward. The tooth band of the lower jaw is twice as wide as that of the upper jaw. Palatines CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES [Occ. Papers and mesopterygoids are thickly beset with minute teeth. The vomer heads bear a very few minute teeth posteriorly. Luminous organs . Dn is small and round, is located slightly below level of upper margin of pupil, and is deeply recessed; the recess is filled with a transparent substance that extends forward to ethmoidal crest and forms a smooth, rounded rostral contour. Vn is prominent, triangular, and about twice as large as Dn, and protrudes into ventral mar- gin of orbit under posterior third of pupil; the luminous tissue is vertically striated. Vn of males is slightly larger and more robust than that of females. Anterior to Vn, and embedded in a band of dark tissue, are five minute dots of whitish tissue (probably luminous) ; the pigmented tissue above these dots bulges upward in small domes that protrude slightly above orbital rim (fig. 3A) , and are evi- dent in specimens as small as 22 mm. , but not in one 15 mm. in standard length. These protrusions, although much less prominent, resemble those that project notably from the Vn into the orbital rim of Diaphus lutkeni . OP]^ is minute, directly behind end of upper jaw. OP2 is slightly larger than body photophores, and is located about on level of lower margin of orbit with its rear edge approx- imately on a vertical from front of OP^^. PLO lies directly over pectoral origin and slightly below midway between that point and lateral line. Luminous scale at PLO (missing on right side of holotype) is roughly ovoid; its length equals or slightly exceeds half the pupil diameter; the luminous tissue is finely convoluted. PO-j^, PVO-j^, and PVO2 are equal- ly spaced in an oblique straight line; PVO2 lies close be- fore lowest pectoral rays. Five PO; P0]__2 interspace is about twice that of PO2-3 and of P03_5; the P02_3 and P03_5 interspaces are about equal; PO4 is elevated to about level of lower end of pectoral base, and is on (seldom behind) vertical from center of PO3 . The PO series gradually diver- ges posteriorly, with PO5 abruptly raised to about one dia- meter below and before outer pelvic ray. VLO is slightly behind pelvic origin and above a midpoint between there and lateral line. First three of the five VO are equally spaced in an oblique line; VO3 lies two of its diameters before vertical from VO4 and about on a line through SAO2 and AOa^^. The three SAO form a steeply ascending, nearly straight line; SAO3 may be on, or close before or behind, a line through the first two. SAO]^ is located about two of its diameters behind and one above VO5. SAO2-3 interspace is twice that of SA0i_2. SAO3 located its diameter below lat- eral line and over or slightly before anal-fin origin. Five AOa; the first and last are markedly elevated, so that a straight line through them passes through SAO]^ and VO3 (AOa^^ is rarely slightly below this line) . Pol is about its dia- meter below lateral line, forms a straight or very slightly curved line with last two AOa, and lies over midpoint bet- ween penultimate AOa and first AOp. Of the four Pre, the No. 110] WISNER: MYCTOPHID FISHES first three are evenly spaced in a gentle curve, and the last one is abruptly elevated to about three of its diame- ters below lateral line and is separated from the nearest Pre by a space about equal to that between the first and the third. The AOp-Prc and the AOa-AOp interspaces are about equal . In addition to the large scale of luminous tissue at PLO, similar but much smaller scales occur posteroventrally to VLO, SAO3, Pol, and upper Pre. These scales vary in size (in preserved material) but are generally two to four times the size of adjacent photophores. Caudal luminous glands are absent. DISTRIBUTION. All but one of the study specimens of D. traohops is from near Hawaii. The single exception, para- type LACM 6880-4, a male with moderately developed testes, was taken about 8 miles west-northwest of Point Pinos, Monterey County, California. This specimen may be regarded as a stray, for a moderate amount of collecting effort in waters adjacent to Monterey and between there and Hawaii has yielded no material of the species. No other has been taken away from the Hawaiian area. ETYMOLOGY. The name 'trachops ' , from the latinized Greek words trachos (rough) plus ops (eye) , refers to the uneven surface of the lower orbital margin caused by the small domed intrusions of pigmented tissue covering the minute, probably luminous, dots anterior to Vn.

Numbers of anal photophores (AO) and of gill rakers (table 1) and body proportions (table 2) are compared with similar data for the related species D. tvachops 3 D. suhorhitalis i and D. termophilus . Counts of AO photophores and gill rakers for the holotype of D. sim- ilis are indicated by an asterisk in table 1. DISCUSSION. Diaphus similis is closely related and superficially similar to D. traohops . The photophore pat- tern is essentially similar, differing slightly in that the elevated AOa-i of D. similis is most often slightly below level of SAO2 rather than almost always on that level as in D. traohops . Similarities are also evident in both the counts (table 1), D. similis averaging about two fewer to- tal rakers, and in body proportions (table 2). The two species are most readily separable by the differences in structure of Vn. In D. similis^ this organ is usually more rounded or vertically elliptical, and the luminous tissue is vertically ovoid or pear shaped (fig. 3B) and usually does not fill the entire organ; it is bordered by a silvery, probably reflective area. This contrasts with the rather triangular luminous tissue that nearly fills the Vn of D. traohops (fig. 3A) and D. suborhitalis (fig. 3C) . This structural difference of Vn is evident in the smallest specimens examined, 15 to 20 mm. long. Also, in D. simi- lis, the small protuberances over the tiny luminous dots anterior to Vn are lacking or are extremely minute, at least very difficult to perceive, whereas they are very easily seen in d. traohops . Another difference is that in D. similis the small scales of luminous tissue are absent at photophores other than PLO, even on specimens in excel- lent condition, whereas they are evident in D. traohops , even on rather badly eroded specimens, posteroventrally to VLO, SAO3, Pol, and upper Pre. Also, the anterior margin of PO4 is on or slightly behind a vertical from posterior margin of PO3 . Diaphus traohops and D. similis may be confused with v. suborhitalis and D. termophilus because of very similar arrangements of Dn and Vn, and of many other body photo- phores. Also, all four species have from three to four minute luminous dots embedded in, or covered by, a streak of dark tissue overlying the ventral rim of the orbit, but only in D. traohops does this overlying pigment bulge up- ward significantly as a small dome over each tiny dot. No. 110] WISNER: MYCTOPHID FISHES This streak of dark tissue is considerably less well devel- oped in D. termophilus and the minute dots are more readily visible than in the other three species. Another point of similarity and confusion in these four species is the very low position of SAOj^ , on or slightly above the level of the last VO. On the basis of photophores, D. termophilus is usually separable from the other three species in that PLO is much nearer to the pectoral origin than to the lateral line, rather than slightly nearer the latter or midway be- tween. Also, in D. termophilus the SAO spacing is more nearly equal, with the SA0]^_2 interspace only slightly smaller than that between SAO2-3; in the other three spe- cies the SAO2-3 interspace is from 1.5 to 2 times greater than that of SA0i_2. Body proportions (table 2) of the four species are also very similar, although D. termophilus differs in having a longer and deeper head, a longer upper jaw, a greater pre- dorsal length, and a greater distance between origins of dorsal and pelvic fins. The numbers of AO photophores, fin rays, and vertebrae of the four species are very similar, but the more numerous gill rakers (table 1) , especially in total count, appear to be useful in separating D. suborbi- talis . The most useful additional characters appear to be the small patches (scales) of luminous tissue at certain photo- phores in addition to that at PLO. Although subject to ero- sion, these luminous scales are quite persistent and are evident on specimens that have lost all body scales and most scale pockets. Diaphus traohops is separable from V . simi- lis by having luminous scales at VLO, SAOo , Pol, and Prc4; D. similis has only one such scale (at PLO) . D. suborbi- talis is readily separable from the others by having lumi- nous scales at many more photophores. In D. suborbitalisy these luminous scales appear to be erratic in occurrence. In six paratypes of D. glandulifer in good condition (USNM 74501, Suruga Bay, Japan) these scales were present on all specimens at PO4 , VLO, VO2 , VO3 , SAO3 , Pol and Prc4; in addition, on from 20 to 83 percent of the specimens, scales were variously present at PVO]^ , PVO2 , PO3, VO^ 3 4 and 5f SAO2, first and last AOa, last AOp, and Prc3! 6n two syntypes of D. suborbitalis ^ from Bali Sea, these scales were present at PO4 , VO2, SAO3 , AOa^^, Pol, Prc^ , and Prc4 . The rather poor condition of these two specimens prevents conjecture as to the presence of lu- minous scales at most other photophores as found in the paratypes of D. glandulifer . DISTRIBUTION. Diaphus similis is thus far known only from a rather small area of the northeastern tropical Paci- fic Ocean bounded by about 04°-10°N., 87°-119°W. ETYMOLOGY. The name similis refers to its similarity 10 CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES [Occ. Papers to D. trachops and, to a lesser degree, to D. suborbitalis . Section II ■ Lampanyatus basili and L. isaacsi These two new species are referable to a group within the genus Lampanyatus that is characterized principally by- having the VO2 photophore elevated and displaced forward to a position very near VO]^, and the AOa series more or less curved. Lampanyatus hasili has the AOa series of photo- phores strongly curved, the pectoral fins long, strong, and broad-based, and the base of the anal fin overlapping about 38 percent of the length of the dorsal base. Lampanyatus isaacsi differs from L. hasili principally in that the AOa series is very slightly curved, the pectoral fins are short and weak, and the base of the anal fin overlaps nearly 60 percent of the length of the dorsal base. Nafpaktitis and Nafpaktitis (1969, p. 52, figs. 63, 64) illustrated and briefly diagnosed two small specimens from the western Indian Ocean, each having the VO2 elevated and displaced forward to near VO^^ , one having a Pre configura- tion similar to that of L. hubbsij an unusual arrangement in that Prc2 is offset behind a straight line through Prc]^, Prc3, and Prc4 . With only one specimen of each form avail- able, these authors designated them only as Lampanyatus "A" and "B." However, enough specimens of each form have now become available to permit adequate characterization. Spe- cies "A" is referable to L. maaropterus^ but species "B" represents the new species, Lampanyatus basili^ described below. Only four species within the genus Lampanyatus^ as presently constituted, have been known to have the VO2 both elevated and displaced forward to near VO-^ . These spe- cies are L. maaropterus Brauer (1904, 1906), as defined by Nafpaktitis and Nafpaktitis (1969), L. hubbsi Wisner (1963), L. omostigma Gilbert (1908) , and L. parviaauda Parr (1931) . The last three species have been discussed by Wisner (1963) . The following key to identification will serve to sep- arate these four species and the two new ones being des- cribed.

DESCRIPTION. Body elongate, slender, moderately com- pressed. Head long, about 3,4 in standard length, its depth 1.7 (1.6-1.8) in its length. Upper jaw long, 1.5 (1.4-1.6) in head; eye small, 3.0 (2.5-3.5) in upper jaw. Snout long, 1.3 in orbit; mouth terminal. Dorsal origin well behind that of pelvic; dorsal base 1.5 (1.4-1.6) in anal base. Origin of anal base under about beginning of last fourth of dorsal base. Pelvic fin short, usually reaching slightly beyond anus but seldom to anal origin. Pectoral fins long, reaching to Pol, filamentous at tips; pectoral base consid- erably longer than distance from orbit to ventral margin of upper jaw. Numbers of fin rays, anal photophores (AO) , gill rakers, and vertebrae (table 3) are compared with similar counts for related species. Counts for the holotype of L. basili are indicated by an asterisk. Body proportions for holotype and paratypes of L. basili are compared with similar data for related species (table 4) . Dentition. The small, villiform teeth of upper jaw form a narrow rounded band, with none enlarged; similar teeth on lower jaw form a more broadly rounded band, in which a few of the posteriormost inner teeth are somewhat enlarged and flattened, and slant forward. Tiny rounded teeth are thick- ly set on the slender palatines and the broad, oval mesop- terygoids. There is a small patch of minute teeth on the posterior face of each vomer head. Luminous organs . Dn is absent. The small but prominent Vn is located at anterior margin of orbit, well above ven- tral margin of pupil. A prominent Ce, as large as body No. 110] WISNER: MYCTOPHID FISHES 13 photophores, lies just above dorsal insertion of opercle and slightly before a vertical from end of upper jaw. OP2 is notably larger than other body photophores and is about on a line from lower margin of orbit to middle of pectoral base. FLO lies about two of its diameters below lateral line, before a vertical from pectoral origin. PVO2 is lo- cated its diameter below and before pectoral origin; PVO]^ , very slightly behind a vertical from PVO2 . Of the five PO, the fourth is elevated nearly to level of pectoral origin (to middle of base in some paratypes) . The P0]^_2 inter- space is about 1.5 times those of PO2-3 and P03_5, which are about equal. PO5 lies its diameter before and slightly be- low level of outer pelvic ray. VLO nearly touches lateral line (does touch in some paratypes) about over a midpoint between base of inner pelvic ray and VO]^ . VO2 is highly elevated (often to slightly below level of PO4), and is displaced forward to at least its diameter before a verti- cal from VO]L' ^^3 is also elevated by at least its diameter above a line through dorsal margins of VO^ and VO4 ; the V0]^_3 and V03_4 interspaces are about equal. SAO series is markedly angulate; SAO^^ lies slightly a- bove level of SAO2; SA0]__2 interspace slightly greater than that of SAO2-3; SAOi is about midway between lateral line and ventral profile and is usually nearer VO3 than VO4 ; SAO2 is about over anal origin; SAO3 touches lateral line slightly before a vertical from anterior margin of first AOa . The four AOa form a notably curved series; A0a2 is much elevated; the succeeding ones descend toward anal base; the A0ai_2 interspace is usually somewhat greater than the space between any remaining adjacent AOa. The two Pol form with the last AOa a notably oblique line, in which the spac- ing is equal; the upper POl is at lateral line. There are nine AOp, of which the first two lie over end of anal base; the first is always, the second is usually, depressed below level of the others; the series is evenly spaced and contin- uous with Prc]_. The AOa-AOp interspace is about three- fourths the least depth of caudal peduncle. The number of Pre is herein interpreted as four; how- ever, the series could reaso^nably be assumed to contain only three, because Prcj is much nearer to the last AOp than to Prc2, so that the last three Pre are well isolated as a group (fig. 5) . The PrcT_2 interspace is at least a photo- phore diameter greater tnan the Prc2_3 and Prc3_4 inter- spaces, and twice the interspace between photophores of the AOp series and between last AOp and Prc^^. Prc2 is offset posteriorly to approximately below, or slightly before, a vertical from Prc3 , and forms a marked curve with Prc3 and Prc4 . A line through Prc^ and Prc4 forms an angle of from 50 to 55 degrees from the vertical; Prc3 lies at least its diameter below this line. Supra- and infracaudal luminous glands respectively with 3 to 4 and 7 to 9 overlapping, seemingly coalesced scales. 14 CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES [Occ. Papers not margined with dark pigment. DISTRIBUTION. Lampanyatus basili is known from below South Africa, across the tropical Indian Ocean, into the Indo-Pacific region, and eastward to the Bismarck Archipel- ago (fig. 6). In the South China Sea area it appears to be common and gregarious (encircled area, fig. 6); two hauls took 78 specimens each, and two other hauls 21 and 34 res- pectively. In comparable hauls from other localities throughout the range, no more than 9 (usually 1 to 5) were taken in any one. ETYMOLOGY. I am pleased to name this species for Basil G.

MATERIAL EXAMINED. Lampanyatus isaaosi is represented by 8 specimens from two collections: one of 3 specimens from the eastern Atlantic Ocean off Freetown, Sierra Leone, and one of 5 specimens from the Guinea Basin, south of Liberia. The new species is of considerable interest in that its characters are those considered to be diagnostic of rather widely divergent species groups of the genus; these relationships are discussed below.

Body slender, elongate, somewhat flaccid and laterally compressed. Head long, 3.5 in standard length, its depth about 1.8 in its length. Upper jaw about 1.4 in head, 5.6 in standard length. Orbit small, 5.5 in head, 3.5 in upper jaw. Snout about as long as orbit. The lens is very small, about half the diameter of pupil. The mouth is essentially terminal; tip of lower jaw protruding very slightly. Dorsal origin well before midpoint of body; pelvic origin well before a vertical from that of dorsal. Anal origin a little before midpoint of body and somewhat before a vertical from middle of dorsal base. Anal and dor- sal bases long, the anal 4, the dorsal 5 times in standard length; dorsal base 1.2 in anal base. Base of adipose fin slightly behind a vertical from end of anal base. No. 110] WISNER: MYCTOPHID FISHES 15 Frequency distributions of fin rays, vertebrae (table 3), anal photophores, and gill rakers (table 4), and body proportions (table 5) , are compared with similar data for related species. Counts for the holotype of L. isaacsi are indicated by an asterisk in tables 3 and 4. Dentition. Teeth of both jaws are cardiform, with none enlarged. Those of upper jaw form a narrow, flatly rounded band along outer margin of premaxillary; those of the lower jaw are in a more rounded band, about twice the width of the upper band. A few teeth at the extreme posterior end of the dentary are broadened and somewhat enlarged. Teeth on palatines and mesopterygoids and in a small patch on the posterior surfaces of vomer heads are conical, sharp, and much smaller than those of jaws. Luminous organs. The following description of photo- phores IS taken primarily from the holotype, which is in rather good condition, because all paratypes are partially denuded and lack some photophores. Pits in the flesh and traces of missing photophores indicate patterns that agree well with those of the holotype. The body photophores are not notably small, but are flattened ventrally to a somewhat semilunate configuration. Dn is absent. The small but prominent Vn lies a little be- low center of anterior border of orbital rim, level with ventral margin of nasal rosette. OP-i , nearly as large as body photophores, lies well below end of upper jaw; OP2, about twice larger than body photophores, is a little be- hind a vertical from OP-i and about, level with ventral mar- gin of orbit. The small Ce is just above dorsal insertion of opercle and about vertically over end of upper jaw. PLO nearly touches lateral line, well before the PVO group. PVO]^ lies almost directly below PVO2; PVO2 is close to, and one diameter below, pectoral origin. The five PO are un- equally spaced: the PO^^.o interspace is 1.5 to 2.0 times that of P02_3; the P03_5 interspace about equals, or some- times slightly exceeds, the P02_3 interval. PO4 lies one diameter behind a vertical from PO3 , and is elevated to about level of pectoral origin. PO5 is located just above outer ray of pelvic fin. VLO nearly touches lateral line about over base of inner pelvic ray and before a vertical from V0]_. The second of the four VO organs is elevated nearly to level of PO4 and is displaced one diameter for- ward of V0]_; the first, third, and fourth are about equally spaced. The SAO series is broadly angulate, with SAO]_ slightly below level of SAO2 and somewhat nearer ventral profile than lateral line, and much nearer VO4 than VO3 . The SA0i_2 interspace is a photophore diameter or more greater than that of SA02_3. SAO2 lies behind a vertical from anal origin and a little more than one-third nearer lateral line than anal origin. SAO3 touches lateral line about over AOax. AO 6 + 7-8; the AOa series is slightly but distinctly 16 CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES [Occ. Papers curved; the A0ai_2 interspace is usually somewhat greater than the space between any adjacent AOa. The two Pol form a flatly oblique line with the last AOa and front of base of adipose fin. AOp is continuous with Pre; not more than one AOp overlies anal base. AOa-AOp interspace is about 75 per- cent of least depth of caudal peduncle. Upper Pre is level with and just behind end of lateral line. The last three Pre form a straight, strongly oblique line; the three Pre and the last AOp are equally spaced. The short supracaudal liominous gland comprises three or four small, weakly developed, overlapping scales. The long infracaudal gland comprises eight or nine similar scales, which reach to about the third or fourth AOp. DISCUSSION. The placement of Lawpanyotus isaacsi with- in the genus is necessarily somewhat arbitrary and dependent upon the phylogenetic importance accredited to several char- acters. Because of the elevated and far-forward position of VO2 , L. isaacsi is referable to that group discussed above in relation to L. basili — a group further characterized by having long, broad-based pectoral fins and markedly curved AOa series of photophores. However, the position of VO2 , and the slightly curved AOa series appear to be the only characters linking L. isaacsi to that group. In most other respects, particularly the narrow-based and weak pectoral fins, and the considerable overlap of the dorsal and anal fin bases, L. isaacsi appears to be more closely allied to other species of the genus having similar characters: the species complex of L. nigev (Giinther, 1887), l. atev Taning, 1928, and L. achirus Andriashev, 1962, and two additional species, L. lineatus and L. cuprarius j both described by Taning, 1928. The first three species are separable from the last two primarily in having SAO^ over the VO2-3 inter- space; in the last two species, and in L. isaacsi^ SAO]^ lies over the V03_4 interspace. L. isaacsi is separable from L. lineatus and L. cuprarius principally by reason of the ele- vated and far-forward position of VO2 . Additional charac- ters (table 6) distinguish these three species. It should be noted that the configuration of the VO ser- ies in L. lineatus and L. cuprarius has been variously pre- sented. Nafpaktitis and Nafpaktitis (1969, pp. 41-42, figs. 49-50) described and figured the VO series as curved, with VO2 elevated but not displaced forward, for the holotype of L. cuprarius (63.0 mm.) and for a specimen (97.0 mm.) of L.- lineatus. These authors also stated that the SAOj is over the V03_4 interspace in each species and so figured L. lineatus ; however, perhaps by error, SAO]_ was shown to be behind VO4 for L. cuprarius . Rolf L. Bolin has kindly pro- vided me with an unpublished drawing of a specimen of L. cuprarius (49.2 mm.), from the northwestern Atlantic Ocean, in which the VO series is shown to be level and SAO-]^ to be nearer VO3 than VO4 . Bolin (1959) did not describe the No. 110] WISNER: MYCTOPHID FISHES 17 VO series for either L. lineatus or L. ouprarius . Parr (1928, p. 107, fig. 18) described and figured the VO series as level and SAO]_ over the V03_4 interspace for both these species. DISTRIBUTION. Lampanyotus isaacsi is known only from the eastern tropical Atlantic Ocean at the western boundary of the Gulf of Guinea (fig. 6). ETYMOLOGY.

Body elongate, moderately robust, its greatest depth about 20 percent of its length. Head long, about 30 percent of standard length, and deep, about 63 per- cent of its length. Mouth terminal, both jaws slightly curved upward near symphysis. Upper jaw long, 74 (72-76 percent of head length. Orbit moderately large, about 3 in 18 CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES [Occ. Papers length of upper jaw. Gill rakers of outer arch long and slender, those at the angle slightly shorter than orbit. Origin of base of anal fin directly below end of dorsal base. Origin of pelvic fin well before that of dorsal. Pectoral fin very long, reaching to third AOa in holotype (to fifth AOa in one paratype) . Base of adipose fin over or very slightly behind a vertical from end of anal base. Cau- dal peduncle moderately deep, about 2.2 (2.0-2.4) in length of peduncle. Teeth of both jaws villiform, none enlarged. Minute teeth are thickly set on palatines and on the broadly ovate mesopterygoids. The posterior faces of vomer heads bear a few very small teeth. Dorsal rays 13 (14); anal rays 17 (16-18); pectoral rays 14-15. AO (5) 6+7 (8), total 13 (12-14); gill rakers 5 (6) + 1 + 10 (9-11), total 16 (15-18); vertebrae 36 (12 specimens) . Particularly diagnostic is the high number of procurrent caudal rays: 9 (8-10) above and 10 (11) below. In this unusually high number of procurrent caudal rays L. aoanthurus lines up with species of certain other myctophid genera: Lampanyatodes ^ Gymnosooipelus ^ Notosaopelus ^ Lamp- iohthySj Hintoniaj and Soopelopsis . Body proportions. Data are given for the holotype first and are followed by the average and range for paratypes (11, unless otherwise noted). Head length 291, 294 (284-306); head depth 182, 185 (174-196); upper-jaw length 214, 215 (209-229); orbit length 67, 63 (55-69); prepectoral length 304, 310 (303-326); prepelvic length 422, 430 (423-440); predorsal length 467, 463 (457-478); preanal length 587, 586 (575-600); preadipose length 802, 803 (790-812); dorsal to anal origins 234, 245 (232-255); dorsal to pelvic origins 212, 203 (191-214); dorsal-base length 155, 160 (153-170); anal-base length 210, 209 (202-217); caudal-peduncle length 231, 220 (211-228); caudal-peduncle depth 103, 99 (90-109); pectoral-fin length 394, 387 (340-414 in 10 specimens); pel- vic-fin length 171, 168 (160-184 in 6 specimens); infracau- dal-gland length 151, 163 (147-199). Luminous organs. All photophores are reniform and are bordered dorsally and laterally with dark pigment; ventral- ly, a rather narrow downwardly directed channel is unpig- mented . There is no evidence of minute secondary photo- phores on head or back. On is absent. Vn is small, is heavily masked dorsally by a thick streak of dark pigment that covers anteroventral margin of orbit, and is located just below confluence of orbital rim and posterodorsal as- pect of nasal apparatus. Cheek and Bu photophores are ab- sent. A prominent Ce lies at dorsal margin of opercle, well before a vertical from end of upper jaw. OPj, somewhat lar- ger than other photophores, is about on level of middle of base of pectoral fin; OP2 lies directly below OP^, about in line with the gape. PLO is located about two of its diame- ters below lateral line and about three diameters before No. 110] WISNER: MYCTOPHID FISHES 19 origin of pectoral fin. PVO^ is about its diameter before bases of fourth or fifth pectoral ray; PVO2, about three diameters below and two before base of lower pectoral ray. PLO, PV0i_2, and PO2 form a nearly straight, posteriorly slanting line. Five PO; PO4 highly elevated to on or slightly above level of middle of base of pectoral fin and lies just behind a vertical from PO3 . PO2-3 interspace slightly less than those between P0]^_2 and between P03_5, which are about equal. VLO lies about its diameter nearer to lateral line than to base of pelvic fin, and about over base of inner ray of that fin, and on or very near a line from PLO to SAO-]^. The four VO form a curved line, along which VO2 is elevated by at least its diameter above VO-^ and VO3 is on a descend- ing line between VO2 and VO4 , v/hich is close to vent. SAO series forms an angle of about 110°-115°. SA02^_2 interspace slightly exceeds that of SA02_3. SAOi lies about its diameter before a vertical from VO3, on or slightly above level of SAO2 . SAO3 touches lateral line; a line through SA02_3 passes through or slightly behind VO4 . The AO series, numbering 6 + 7, is slightly curved, with AO]^ depressed about its diameter below AO2 . All AOp lie behind end of anal base. AOa-AOp interspace equals about half the least depth of caudal peduncle. The two Pol lie on a line from last AOa to end of adipose base. The AOp and Pre se- ries are continuous. First three of the four Pre are closely spaced, near bases of procurrent caudal rays; Prc4 is widely distant, at lateral line about one or two of its diameters behind a vertical from Prc3 . The very short supracaudal luminous gland apparently comprises only two coalesced scales. The long infracaudal gland is formed by seven overlapping scales that extend to base of last anal ray. COMPARISONS. Lampanyatus aoanthurus is closely related to the poorly understood nominal species L. tenuifovmis Brauer , 1906, and L. festivus Taning, 1928, which may be conspecific. They were considered as distinct in the brief discussion by Nafpaktitis and Nafpaktitis (1969, p. 46, figs. 57, 58). These authors stated that L. tenuifovmis has 6 infracaudal luminous scales that occupy about four- fifths of the ventral surface of the caudal peduncle and that L. festivus has 8 scales that fill the entire surface. Other differences indicated were, respectively, 18 versus 20 anal rays, 14 versus 17 pectoral rays, and 6+7 versus 7 + 8 AO photophores. The AO2 series of photophores was illustrated as being straight in L. tenuifovmis ^ but curved in L. festivus . The gill rakers were stated to number 4+1+9 for L. tenuifovmis ; no count was given for L. festivus J but for that species Bolin (1959) listed 4 + 1 + 9 (8-9) rakers. Nafpaktitis and Nafpaktitis (1969) also stated: "In addition, the VO series in L. festivus formed 2 0 CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES [Occ. Papers a pronounced arc, with the second VO well above the level of the first VO. The same organs were on the same or almost the same level in L. tenuiformis . The SAO-]_ was on the same level with the SAO2 and distinctly in advance of the VO3 in L. festivus J whereas in L. tenuiformis this organ was some- what lower than the SAO2 and directly above the VOt . " These authors did not mention cheek photophores, but Bolin (1959) stated that a poorly developed Bu was detectable over the posterior part of the maxillary in good specimens of L. festivus . Based on the above criteria, L. aaanthurus is most clos- ely related to L. festivus in that it has a long infracaudal gland and a distinctly curved VO and AO series of photo- phores. The sharpest distinction seems to lie in the higher number of procurrent caudal rays (a character heretofore largely ignored). Dr. E. Bertelsen (personal communication, 1972) has found that the holotype of L. festivus has six procurrent rays in each lobe of the caudal fin. DISTRIBUTION. Lampanyotus acanthurus is known only from two areas of the North Pacific Ocean, as indicated by the capture data listed for the study material (all known specimens) . Most specimens were taken about 600 miles north of Hawaii (about 27-31° N. , 155°W.). Two specimens were taken about 350 miles west of Pt. Conception, Califor- nia. ETYMOLOGY. The name aaanthurus is based on the latin- ized Greek words acanthos , spiny, and ura^ tail, in refer- ence to the unusually high number of spiny procurrent rays in the caudal fin.
